Description
Description of issue / requirement to address
In its current state the solid angle fraction taken up by a single divertor (f_ster_div_single) is only an input. This doesn't not reflect the geometry of the calculated design.
Proposed solution
Using the build variables an angle between the two lower edges of the blanket into the divertor region can be found, this will be done assuming a point source at $R_0$. The same can be done for the upper divertor and even the first walls. This will give a good estimate of the radiation and neutron power to each component
